Clarke County features the Davis family of educators with Henry M. Davis heading the Vocational Agricultural program at James Wood High School. Judy Davis works in Fairfax County, and Jessie Carpenter serves Arlington County elementary schools as her sister-in-law approaches wheat program signup. Signups for the 1965 Clarke County wheat program lag far behind 1964, with only six farmers enrolled so far.
